Cardboard Precision Bass

What happens when you rethink one of the most iconic bass guitars ever made? In collaboration with Fender, Ernest Packaging set out to answer that question by building a Precision Bass almost entirely from cardboard.

While the instrument stays true to the classic design, the project is really about exploring the potential of corrugated materials beyond their traditional purpose. Combining creative engineering with expert craftsmanship, this build demonstrates that cardboard is capable of far more than most people imagine.
